Direct language: « We have to accelerate Ukraine’s path to membership in our Union. It is not only a desire of Ukraine – it can be the strongest guarantee of security. And this was the focus of my last meeting with President Zelensky in Rome.
The war in Ukraine will eventually end. And how it is over, will form a European continent for several generations forward. «
Details: The President of the European Commission has expressed the belief that « a bad deal may encourage Putin to return with new forces, which would become a recipe for increasing instability and insecurity. »
« Instead, a fair and long peace can open a new era of prosperity for Ukraine and help us build a new security architecture for Europe, » she said.
So von Der Lyen has identified three priorities for the EU on the way of establishing a just peace for Ukraine: « First, to support Ukraine’s defense capability. Second, to complete a step-by-step abandonment of Russian fossil fuel. And thirdly, to accelerate the process of Ukraine’s accession to our Union. »
